Don’t Feel Guilty

A man entered a bar, bought a glass of beer and then immediately threw it into the bartenders face. Quickly grabbing a napkin, he helped the bartender dry his face while he apologized with great remorse. “Im so sorry,” he said. “I have this compulsion to do this. I fight it, but I dont know what to do about it.” “You had better do something about your problem,” the bartender replied. “You can be sure Ill remember you and will never serve you another drink until you get help.”

It was months before the man faced the bartender again. When he asked for a beer, the bartender refused. Then the man explained that he had been seeing a psychiatrist and that his problem was solved. Convinced it was now okay to serve him, the bartender poured him a drink. The man took the glass and splashed the beer into the barkeepers astonished face. “I thought you were cured,” the shocked bartender screamed. “I am,” said the man. “I still do it, but I dont feel guilty about it anymore.”
